I feel so bad...
So helpless while I sit and watch you.
Its not fair,
When you’re a Christian wearing camouflage.
You need to fight,
Not fit in with the devil.
You’re losing sight
‘Cause there’s nothing more then camouflage.

Do you really think,
You’re doing some good
To humanity
That’s walking by your darkened pathway?
If you’d open your eyes
Maybe turn on the daylight
You could see yourself
And you’d fit in with the devil.

But you’re losing sight
And you’re a Christian wearing camouflage.
Halloween is over
No trick or treat,
No hide and seek.
So clap on the light again
You’ll see that you’re a Christian
But you’re wearing camouflage.

- And so it was that time stood still -
     (blink, breathe, stand, fight)

hello, GG, Alyssa
I'm not sure what this really means or who it's directed to.  I am not a Christian, (with or without camouflage)
but do feel my thoughts and deeds are positive, and good for humanity.
Interesting post though, just wondering if someone close to you is being 'false?'

Hey midnitesun
yep you've got the meaning. Its not directed at anyone here, not anyone specific at all, actually. Just several people I know who are Christians but have 'forgotten' their faith, in order to have 'fun.'
Or there are other's who say they go with the crowd they do in order to witness to them, but they are the ones being changed, not the ones they say they witness to.
I don't really expect many to udnerstand.... just a spur of the moment write.
Thanks for replying!!

Always, Alyssa

well, I believe there are plenty of us that understand this, well.

I, for one, see it every day of the week, in my work. It's sad.

Dixie,
you're right, its so sad. Not only is it a pure spit in the face at the Saviour, but it also gives a bad name to Christianity. Because those are the ones people link to God, and are their excuse for rejecting it...
*sigh*
Thanks for replying!

Very few things on earth hurt as much as seeing a friend go into camouflage, when there is nothing you can do about it. I understand it only too well.

Keep writing! At least you're not living in camouflage

Alyssa ~

I believe I do understand where you are coming from with this write--and unfortunately it is all too common a scenario.

It is good to see that you are true to your own self and belief system---and keep your head screwed on right as well!

Warm hugs,
EA
